1. i do not feel like i have many friends in person, and i believe that it is because i am either missing something (in me) or doing something wrong.
2. i love to fish (catch and release)- even though the mere smell of fish will make me sick, and i cannot eat fish
3. i have now not only broken a finger, but now also had a ring ablation (degloving without removal)... and the bone was split down the middle as well.
4. i can build almost anything... except my own dinner. when my partner is gone at work, feeding myself often involves me staring into the fridge and eating a block of cheese.
5. considering the above, it becomes funny when you know that i also worked as a head cook-- and a good one at that, i am told.
6. i had a rather substantial collection of devil duckies. i am glad i don't now, because my puppy would probably eat them all.
7.it really bothers me when i can tell that people judge me to be stupid based on the observation that i work with my hands and am quite frequently dirty from such work
8. i am a night owl
9. even though i am a night owl, i have done the best i can to flip my schedule around for "the rest of the world"- although this has caused me to run in a perpetual state of sleep deprivation
10. i was born 10-12 weeks premature... and didn't find out about that until i was 34. when they couldn't find my appendix.
11. i love horror movies
12. i love working, but i do not love working with other people
13. i tend to be a bit of a magpie. there is a lot behind that, but i am now finally feeling secure enough to start letting go of some things
14. i have finally set up my painting studio. at least phase 1 of it.
15. i enjoy doing laundry. i find it to be very relaxing.
16. i hate doing dishes- it really kills my back.
17. i have major surgery coming up in 10 days and i am working on not freaking out.
18. when i was in 7th grade i wrote a report on edgar allan poe; my teacher thought that it was too good for me to have written it and failed me and accused me of plagiarism. my mum came to my defense and the principal gave me a chance-- an oral question and answer session on EAP, if i did well, all charges dropped and i would pass; if i did not do well, bad stuff. i passed so well that the principal actually chastised my teacher. go mum!
19. i find one-upmanship to be terribly tiring.
20. i am a volunteer firefighter in australia
21. i think that it is very healthy to hold different opinions (beliefs, values, etc) and i get really annoyed when people try to bully others into one mushed up, watered down set of ideals
22. we have several dogs, most of them kelpies and i feel like i am the head of the Von Kelpie family sometimes. "Dad! a Deer! a female deer!"
23. i love photography, both analog and digital and have a collection of cameras and old photographs, all the way back to original daguerrotypes...
24. i think that i am too nice sometimes...
25. no matter how much it hurts or how many times i get hurt... i will never change #24
